Anna-Mieke Anderson (pronounced Anna-Mee-kah) is the founder and active CEO of MiaDonna & Company and the founder of The Greener Diamond Foundation. She is a dedicated mother, an avid philanthropist and successful entrepreneur. When Anna-Mieke learned the truth behind the conflict origin of her earth-mined diamond in 2005, she became passionate about finding a conflict-free option. Fueled by a mother’s passion for helping children, she has built a globally admired, eco-friendly jewelry company that continues to push boundaries to create a socially responsible diamond industry. Not only did she grow a business, she pioneered an industry. She has dedicated her life to creating diamonds in a laboratory that are superior to earth-mined diamonds in every way, all while helping children caught in the middle of the unethical harvesting of mined diamonds. Anna-Mieke has made history by becoming a visionary in the new era of the diamond industry. Her passion to create lab-grown diamonds, even before the technology was available, has been recognized by industry authorities and organizations. She is now internationally recognized as a humanitarian activist and successful entrepreneur who works tirelessly to inspire other young women to embrace their authentic, feminine selves and follow their entrepreneurial spirit.
